Solon, Supplying weapons to fight with that the allies didn't have at that time. The RAF had a large contingent of American air men before the U.S. joined the party. Our factories were providing all the tools of war that the allied combatants needed to defend themselves. Americans were going to Britain to join any outfit that they could to fight the Germans, and when we entered the war, they were transfered to American units. You must be from eastern Canada. I have known a lot of Canadians, and those from the west are good, and nice people, but all of them I have met from the east, are a**holes.

Maybe you missed the news? The US was effectively at war with Nazi Germany BEFORE Pearl Harbor. In fact, Germany had grounds for a declaration of war under international law had it chosen to do so. How about that destroyer deal? I think Mr. Churchill greatly appreciated them? And US Navy vessels providing escort to British merchant ships carrying war supplies? And Roosevelt's "shoot on sight" order regarding German subs? Hitler probably issued that fatuitous declaration of war just so he could shoot back in a war already under way.
